Great to meet you!

*I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing individual therapy to Women (Ages 18+) across California and Colorado.

My style is integrative and relational, helping clients understand patterns to get "unstuck", regulate emotions, and build healthier relationships. I specialize in women's issues, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I work with young adults and adults, typically women and individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community who are motivated to make changes.

My clients are typically high functioning professionals struggling with anxiety, issues with self esteem, burn out, and trauma. I also work with many mothers struggling with postpartum depression and identity shifts.

My approach to therapy

My approach is a whole person approach. My work is rooted in attachment-based and trauma-informed care, integrating psychodynamic, family systems, mind-body interventions, and CBT approaches. I help clients understand how early experiences shape current patterns to build insight, and create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, grounded, and direct. I create a space that feels safe, supportive, and honest, where clients can explore deeply while also being gently challenged. Clients often feel both understood and empowered in our work together.

What you can expect from me

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients to set clear, meaningful goals that feel both realistic and aligned with their values. We focus on both insight and action, tracking progress while allowing space for deeper emotional work to unfold.

Our first session

The first session is a space to understand what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping for. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, get a sense of your history, and begin identifying patterns. You can expect to feel heard, supported, and clear on next steps.

*Kindly note that I do not provide couples, adolescent, or family therapy.
